Public transportation services in Jakarta experienced significant disruptions on Thursday evening, August 27, 2026, due to chaotic protests near the Parliament building (DPR).

Ayu Wardhani, Head of Public Relations and CSR at Transjakarta, reported that 21 travel routes were affected by the unrest. As a result, Transjakarta implemented service adjustments, particularly for routes passing through the DPR and Tanah Abang areas.

Thirteen Transjakarta routes were temporarily halted, including JAK.11, JAK.12, JAK.14, JAK.54, 8C, 8N, 1B, 1F, 3F, and 10H. Additionally, routes SH2, T11, T31, S01, P11, 9, 9A, and JAK.102 were rerouted. Route 8E was shortened, only serving up to the Kebayoran-Asia Afrika area.

The chaos also impacted the Rangkasbitung KRL Commuter Line. Services were disrupted due to crowds gathering near the railway tracks, specifically at level crossing 41 between Tanah Abang and Palmerah stations.

13 routes stop operation temporarily, namely JAK.11, JAK.12, JAK.14, JAK.54, 8C, 8N, 1B, 1F, 3F, and 10H.
